Abbreviated BioMandi Orozco grew up in Winter Garden, Florida. After graduating high school and years of formative dance training she moved to Montreal to pursue her dream of working for Cirque du Soleil. At the age of 21, she achieved her dream and toured internationally for 5 years. She is currently based in Berlin. Her love for physical activity, health, and helping others lead her to become certified as a yoga instructor. Mandi loves bringing the two worlds together and is grateful to have the opportunity to share her knowledge with others.

Mandi encourages interested participants to take both workshops to have a true chance to explore new potential! She would love the opportunity to catch up for a tea or coffee after class to answer questions, hear about what brought you to yoga, and hear about your love for Elevate Yoga Center!
